Jean Junction, The Former Liberal Club

Jean Junction, the former Liberal Club, is a building from 1876, designed by William Smith of Keighley, which has been refronted around 1900. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with coped gables and a gable stack. The building is three storeys high.

The North Street front was added around 1900 and includes a shop front. The central doorway, which originally had a pediment, has been converted into a window, flanked by plate glass windows, with the left window containing an inserted door. On either side, there are ashlar pilasters with ornate curved capitals and an entablature that features a fascia board. This entablature extends to the right over two additional bays, which include another Edwardian shop front with a pedimented doorway and two circular windows with continuous hoods.

Above the shop front, there is a three-bay upper window supported by four dumpy Doric columns on high square bases, adorned with diamond panels and a bracketed entablature above. Further up, there are three panels, with the lower sections blocked and the upper sections featuring glazing bar windows, also defined by dumpy Doric columns. Flanking these are carved allegorical figures in relief, above which is a pediment with a central circular window surrounded by elaborate carvings.

The west front consists of nine bays, featuring three windows on the ground floor and five central segment-headed plain sashes with ashlar surrounds and a continuous hood mould above. To the right, there is a loft doorway with a similar hood, followed by another plain sash. To the left, there is a half-octagon staircase addition from around 1900, topped with plain tile roofs and small casements. Above this, there are five similar central windows, mostly blocked, with two further sashes to the right and a pair of similar sashes to the left, alongside a pair of smaller windows with dumpy Doric column surrounds.
